I'm so glad to find this recipe for Chocolate Gravy. When we were little it was a treat for us to get this on Friday mornings. Our mother worked Monday thru Thursday. Raising six kids was hard for her. But her cooking this for us on Fridays was a treat. Now I pass it on to my girls is a gift.

Years ago around 1955 I was dating a girl from Tennessee and she kept telling me about the great chocolate gravy that her grandmother use to make. So when I finally got to go to Tennessee and meet her granny, we were invited over for Sunday dinner. At that time it was a big deal whenever company from the north came to visit. The whole family and relatives were invited over for dinner. Directly in front was this very large tureen of chocolate gravy. After filling my plate with the roast beef and various vegetables, I reached over and ladled the chocolate all over my plate. Everyone around the table started to laugh. When I asked what was so funny as she made the chocolate just for me, they all chimed in. And said, "Yes, but you don't put it on your meat and potatoes". I had told that story to many people over the years and not one of them ever heard of chocolate gravy. Needles to say I was ecstatic when I saw your recipe for chocolate gravy and biscuits. I am going to have it for breakfast.

Mother used to make us chocolate biscuits but she would use day old biscuits and cut them in half and place the halves in the chocolate. They were so good.

Paula, my mom many years ago made what she called hot chocolate syrup. We ate this over hoe cakes ..so relish. Thanks for that recipe. I could not remember the exact ingredients. You are an absolute angel. Thanks for bringing back some awesome memories. Love you all so much

My mother always made chocolate gravy and I just thought everyone knew about how to make it. I soon found out after moving out west that hardly anyone knew what it was. I guess it's a southern thing but I grew up eating it. I made it for my family and had to make it for the guys that I worked with and they simply loved it. It was always requested when we had breakfast on the graveyard shift. My sons now make it for their family, my sister made it for her family so it's a tradition in our family. There's nothing like it on a cold morning.

So I just tried making this because my mamaw is the only person I know that can make this stuff right and it's so good. The recipe is dead on and accurate. However, it was a bit too sweet for my taste so next time I make it, I will be using a little less sugar. Delicious!!!

I have been eating this chocolate gravy since I was a little girl. I now make it in the microwave. Just heat the milk 2 minutes, mix the cocoa, sugar and flour, pour into milk and whisk to remove lumps. Then heat 1 minute and stir. Continue heating 1 minute at a time and stirring until desired thickness.

I will have to try this receipe. My late mother in law taught me to make Chocolate Gravy. Of course I had to learn to make it before my husband would marry me..Go figure, he should've known it would be easy for me. My receipe is as follows: Chocolate Gravy: 2 cups sugar 4 cups milk 4 1/2 heaping tbsp. flour 4 1/2 heaping tbsp. of Cocoa Combine and heat on med heat till thickens. Pour over biscuits and top with slices of butter. Yummy. Hope you try it. I am sure you will enjoy it. I am trying your receipe for breakfast this weekend.. enjoy Debbie Sparks

OH MY GOSH!! My Husband loves this and said his Daddy made it for hin all the time. I had never heard of it before and thought it was just some crazy thing Daddy came up with! Daddy always said, "This is Texas little girl, we know cookin!" I am printing this recipe to show my Husband and concede.....it is a real recipe! Miss you Daddy!

My Grandma Gracie use to make this for us when we went to KY. to see her. The Chocolate gravy is also good on scrambled eggs too. WOW! What a flash back in time for me. She use to make a big old batch and by the time brakfast was over the gravy was gone. My dad likes to put it over cured ham. I have never tried it that way. But this summer I will get a chance and let ya know how it is. I have tryed to make this gravy but it never taste like hers. It turns out good, but it is always better when she makes it.

my sister saw the show where you were making the biscuits and chocolate gravy and called me.We found this so interesting because our mother made this starting around 1930. It a receipe that has been handed down to several generations.So many memories of college kids coming home with my daughter and cooking biscuits and chocolate gravy,they all talk aout it to this day when I see them. Love watching you and have been told many times that I sound like Paula Deen. our receipe is - 1 cup sugar,1/3 cup cocoa/1/3cup flour,1 1/2 cups water,bring to a boil,then add 2 Tbs. butter.God bless my sweet mama, she cooked for lots of children in her life,and we have such sweet memories. thank you,for the program we enjoyed it so much.

Hello from Oklahoma, I have heard of chocolate gravy from my oldest son. While in high school his best friends' mother made chocolate gravy and he loved it. I thought it had coffee in it but that could be another variation. I think your web site is delicious and you are stunning. Thank you for being kind enough to share! Sincerely, Kenna Mooney Kimbrough

My Grandma Mobley use to make Biscuits and Chocolate Gravy and when my mother married my father she also learned to make it. When I mention this dish to friends they cringe, but they don't know what they are missing. My southern roots run deep and this dish reminds me of who I am. Thank you

I had never heard of Chocolate Gravy before until I was 41 years old. I spent the weekend with a dear friend in Cookeville, TN and she made it for me for breakfast! I've been hooked ever since although I make it as a dessert and is wonderful poured over graham crackers or vanilla wafers! You can lighten it up by leaving out the butter and using lowfat milk. I prefer to use evaporated milk.
